Tim and Tommy Thwaites, brothers from America's coffee heartland, left the Seattle area in search of adventure and prosperity. They took different paths but reconnected in Denver, Colorado. Over the years they had acquired a significant amount of experience in the specialty coffee industry. They have studied all facets of coffee from the origin characteristics of green coffees, to the art of roasting, through drink preparation and retail interface. As young entrepreneurs with a combined 22 years industry experience, they partnered with Tom Sr. to develop Coda Coffee Company. The mission is simple: to set the standard for coffee excellence through education, advocacy, and partnerships. With the belief that success is reciprocal, Coda will do what it takes to exceed expectations.

Meet Our Founders

In 2003, husband and wife duo, Brandon and Camrin Knudsen, left the West Coast with one goal in mind: Open Colorado’s finest locally-owned coffee shop. Both having parents who ran their own businesses growing up, Brandon and Camrin knew they wanted to follow a similar path and be part of something they could build together from the ground up.

But like most, their journey to success wasn’t always easy. Prior to opening their first Ziggi’s Coffee location in Longmont, Colorado, the Knudsens owned and operated another small, pre-existing sandwich and coffee shop in Thornton, Colorado. At the same time, the young couple bought their first house and welcomed their first son, Elijah, into the world. To keep their dream of running their own business alive, Brandon worked graveyard shifts at a local ice cream company, then met Camrin, with Elijah in tow, to open the coffee shop and serve customers each morning.

After overcoming challenges and gaining experience running their first shop, Brandon and Camrin were eager to grow their business model. Their dream continued to evolve, and in August of 2004, they opened the first Ziggi’s Coffee location on the corner of 4th and Main Street in Longmont. For them, coffee has always been more than just a beverage. Brandon and Camrin associate coffee with fellowship and see it as a way to connect with customers. That belief is the basis for Ziggi’s commitment to providing excellent service and support for the communities they are a part of.

As of today, Ziggi’s has expanded with seven other drive-thru and coffeehouse locations across Colorado, which have become staples within the communities they serve. The 14-year coffee shop industry veterans still thrive on being part of the day-to-day operations of each store and find joy in mentoring their franchisees, managers and staff in becoming great business leaders. They are excited for what the future holds for Ziggi’s Coffee.

OUR COMMUNITY

At Ziggi’s, we value the relationships we build with our customers and communities, because after all, without your ongoing support, we wouldn’t be here. That is why we set out to continually find ways we can give back to local schools, individuals and various nonprofits and organizations and more. Whether it’s donating gift cards or hosting fundraisers, we’re always willing to help out when we can.

Additionally, knowing Colorado is home to remarkable artists and photographers, we partner with different local artists each month to feature exhibits of their work in our coffeehouse locations. Not only does it give them a chance to showcase some of their masterpieces, it also fills our walls with beautiful visuals you can enjoy while sipping on your drink and adds to the unique, vibrant atmosphere of our coffee shops.

Feel free to contact us here if you would like to inquire about a community involvement opportunity or be featured as our next Artist of the Month.
